STAMPottp, Nov. 16.—The tremendous gale kas done very extensive damage aniongst the timber in the parks in the neighbourhood of Stamford. In the • Marquis of Exeter's - beautiful domain more than . ' 100 large tr ees ' h a V e b een bl o W n dow n ; many of them in avenues, the regularity of which is of course destroyed by the chasms. In Waleot tail, the estate of Nevile Noel, Esq. 400 trees are destroyed; and about the same num her in the park of Colonel Noel at Exton, and of the Earl of Winehilsea at Burley-including in the lat ter an entire avenue of chesnuts. In Normanton Park (`Sir Gilbert. Heathcote's)" 50 trees are blown up by the roots, and about as many broken in half. A Spinney below the house is ne'arly annihilated. At the Earl of Westmoreland's 21 trees are lying between . the Mansion 7 b ouse an d M oor h a y-l awn , and n a great nmber in Apethborpe Park-sU.at Lutfen ham, 13 it BoUrti Abbey, (Mrs. Pochin's), 7 at Stocken-hall, 300 upon and near the road between Stamford and 'Leicester. Twelve hoe young elm . trees on Miss Tryson's estate, at Gaston, were torn. up by the root; and more thaw 50 ;yards of her garden wall, which was planted with chOice fruit trees, blown down. Two post-chaises were bloWn over between Slam ford and Bourn of Mr. Charles Allen's house, in Littleworth Drove, blown down.—Scarcely a -water-engine at D'ennittgton and neighbourhood but was so much injured as to be now useless. At Pilsgate, a poor house, the . occupier of which (an old voman) had left it but a few minutes, was entirely blown down. Mr. Hill, wooi§taplet,,of Urp pinghatn,' bad a fat beast killed;'by a hovel falling. At BarroWden, a bo, was miraculously prese:vcd, b) abeam protecting him in a space scincel;c large enough to told him, whllst he was giving some tod der to a beast in the hovel belonging to Mr. Shel ton. ' The animal was killed by the falling of the hovel. A summer-house belonging to Dr. Willis, at Gretford, was beaten down by. a large tree being blown upon it. The chUrch at Sleaforci received so much damage, that service could not 'be "pet tortned in non Sunday last, and two houses, near the church .(one of . them uccupiedi by -Mr. FOrbes) received material in jury. Toe water was higher at Stamford,bridge, on Sunday nig!it, than it:was in the flood of 1795'. LOUTH, I 4.-I'he north coast of Lincokshire,frOm the molitti of the. Humber to Sikegness, exhibits such a scene of distresi, as has not been witnessed uefore by the oldest man living. There are 16 vessels cast on shore within the space of 4 miles, and not more than two of - them are expeeled to be got oft' one of them, a Prussian brig, for Lobdon with wheat, went to i piecegyesterday, and the cargo is entirely lost. The nuMber of poor souls Who hove pelished'l4 not yet ascertained, bat every tide increases the awful spectacle, by driving up several mangled corpses. In the parishes of Surfjeet and Pinchbeck much damage has be en done : a breach of batik took place .0 the. out tall of the Verimit's which destroyed one of the arches, and the drain of course became a receptacle - for salt water; and roust so continue until such :lute as the bredci) can be secured; it is above 30 Seel froin'the bottom of the Welland. Mr;William Beasley has lost many sheep, the wheat seed which he had comafitted to the rote for vegetation is destroyed, and .his farm.reudered for a long time u i nfi: for tillage. His family were corn eetted to qiiit their house for Safety : a contiguous cottage, with a:barn and other buildings, were wholly swept - away-by the flood. In the park at Pinchbeck, above 30 oaks have been levelled with the earth. At . 'Bridgentl, between Horbling and the . Forty-Foot, many large- trees were blown down upon the 'road, so as for some hours completely to intecrupt . passengers in carriages or on horseback. The late tempestuous deluge in Devonshire has been dreadful to its consequences. Th e i n h a bi tants of Totness were driven to their upper chambers, in. the dead of night, and most of the !iVe stock around it perished. The houses in the village of 'Daglish were nearly swept away ; and the Clarence stage coach found; in its way, the inundation so rapid, that the passengers had scarcely tune to get out.atd save themselves, by climbing np the trees -on the road side;. the coachman, outside passengers, and horses., were saved b . ) turning back. DOWTON sufficiently recovered to resume his professional labours. He performed Cantwell on Thursday last at the Lyceum, and last night Major &in - geom. • • Miss BEW, who appeared with so much success at the Lyceum, as in the . Comedy of John Bull, performed that charaaer again last night at the same place, and fully confirmed the favourable opinion, of the auuietice... . . .. It was said that Mrs. JORDAN was again to 'per form a few nighis at Coieni-GardenTheatre this s'ason, but the report is now contradicted. The public would, of course, be glad .to, see such an aetiebs any where. In the Court of King's Bench, Lord Et.Nrso- ROUGH announced, that the Court had ordered, that where bail came to justify on a debt exceeding 10001, the hail should not be held to. justify for more than 10001. above the amount of the debt. This is a wholesome regulation. His Lordship informed Mr. WARREN, 'that in the case of the ReV. Mr. POVAH and the Bishop of LONDON, th 4 Judges, on the ground of law and precedent, were unanimously of opinion that the Rule should be granted, which was done accordingly. Sir JAMES MANSFtEI 4 I) informed the G en tl emen of the Common Pleas Bar, on Wednesday, 'that the regulation with resped to the sum tor which bail is to justify on account of costs, recently adopted in the Court of King's Bench by Lord EDLEN/30- ROUGH, would be obseflied in the Court of Com mon Pleas. An a& of suicide was committed on Wednesday last by a young Gentleman of the most respe&ible connedions in the City. It is said to have been occasioned by the same speculations in the last Loan,. which proved SO fatal. to the late Mr. A. 601.DSM1D. r .! - L&AVI-1 PAPERS, .4. PARIS, Nov. s.—ft is reported that his ivAajeoy will shoitly wake an excursion to Cherbourgn. [From the Moniteur of Nov. 4.) " Toulon Roids, iSto. " SIR,—We have read in Nos. 282 afld 288 of the Moniteur, under the London head, extraets from the English papers, containing the very inaccurate letter of Capt. Blackwood, which has excited the in dignation of the whole. They: will all affirm that only one ship of the line, the Ajax, and the • Amelia frgate; were able to get within.gun-shot of the.ene my's three vessels, on account of the total failure of the wind at first, and its changing so much alier wards, that the enemy were to windward, and of course had it in their power to begin the attack ; but so far were they from wishing a renewal of the com bat, and bearing down for, that i purpose or the Antlia and Ajax, that they made 'all sail. " The bravery of the sailors belonging to this squadron is not at all inferior to that of the English; and the time ✓ill perhaps come, when Captain Blackwood will have occasion to give, a different ,proof of courage. from that which he has boasted. It is not true that the flag-ship of 130 guns fired a broadside upon this, Captain, or the other vessels; if it had, they would have felt it. It requires the English propensity to boasting to suppose that the fire of three ships of, that nation could silence the fire of six of ours, and oblige theca to make ; • " There is not otie'of our Captains who does not wish to be laid alongside . Captain Blackwood for an hour," for the purpose of teaching him to ;hold his tongue, or tell truth,. He has already had p-ools of the superiority of our artillery over that of the En glish, since he has acknowledged that he had a Lieu tenant and seven men killed, 13 wounded, and that on hoard the two ships of his Majesty's squadron, which were cannonaded by the three English ships of the line, the frigate, and •stoop, under the corn naand of Captain Blackwood, there was no one per son hurt.

PARIS, Nov. 9. 77 Dubourdieu, Capitaine de Va seau, commanding the naval force in the Adriatic, to his Imperial Highness Prince Eugene,, Viceroy of Italy •', Ancona, Oct: 26, 1810. " MONSEIGNEUR, " In Confdrmily to the orders of your Highness, dated the .17th instant, I sailed from this port with a naval division, consisting of the French frigates the Favorite and the Urunie, commanded by M. M. De la Meillerie and Maxgalle, the Italian. frigate la 2rong, the cart., t es /a Bellona .and Carolina, and the brigs /ifeiairg and Jena, also Italian, command- ed V M. M. Paschaligo, Duodo, Rodriguez, Pali cuccia, and Baratovich; having onboard a battalion of the 3d Italian regiment of the line' and Colonel Gifflingte, Aide•de-Camp of your Highness, des tined to command the troops when disembarked. ' " On the 20th, at seven in the morning, the squadron sailing in two divisions, I encountered a brig from the eastward, which I discovered to be a ship Of war; the *itid was westerly, almost a calm I chased it the whole day, and it owed its safety only to the calm, and to its sweeps. In the night I changed my course. " On the 21st, when off the Isle of Lissa, I met a second Brig, to which I gave chace; so as to cut off hercommunication with the land, that she might not give alarm. In the night I sent a boat to wind ward of the island, which took a fisherman, who told me that the English frigates, 3 in number, were on a cruise, and that there were in the. port le pri; steers, and more than 60 prkze-vtaii3els, under the . , care of an En fel Offc'er find a Midshipman, with about 200, men, out of the prizes. " Oi. the 2:tcl I was off ,the pot of St. George, in the Isle ot Lissa, which I en', re.i with 'tie tri gates La F , vorite and La Corona, and the cor vette La Belloita. I left the , re.t of my sqiiadrocr under sail, cruising at the mouth of the haruour. " I hois , ed the English flag, the enemy's ves sels did the same, and a privateer, which sv.ts und(lit sail entered at the same time with my dit ision. " Upon the intbrination that there were no ships of war, I ordered the troops to land under the cum [nand of M. M. Ganger and La Bedavere; I gave to the Captain of the tiigaie, Larneillerie, t i.e charge of conducting the disembarkation, with my. instruc tions and Orders to destroy, burn, and sink all the vessels, except such as could befitted out and pUt to sea without delay. " At a quarter past 12, I anchored ; at the same instant the troops landed, and the flag of his Ma jesty replaced the English fiat. W brought off 30 vessels, 10 of which are fine privateers, carrykg 100 guns ; leiving the ''rest of the vessels a,prey to to the flarnea. Ihc troops took possession of the isle, where they met with no resistance. I' Engli;h garrison has been made prisoners. " The object ' of his Majesty being fulfilled, I. did not think it my duty to weaken the crews of my squadron, by bringing off the ten privateers anti several vessels, though those destroyed were valued by the enemy at more than 20 millions. " Monseigneur, the result of this expelition) is 62 vessels burnt, of which 43 were loaded ; to privateers, having in all too pieces of cannon, and a quantity of arms of every kind, manned, sent for Lesina, and concluded here; to vessels restored to the subject of his Majesty; Illysian, Italian, and LIN eapoli tan vessels, 14; 100 prisoners, and 25 French delivered, of whom 5 are' cannonieres. The English squadron, consisting of three fri. gates, one corvette, and two brigs, has avoided mea suring their strength . with us. I can assure your Highness that officers-and crews were in the best disposition, and very desirous of fighting. " I shall have the honour of communicating to your Highness the r names of the officers who have the best title to the favour of his Majesty. " I have the honour to b.-!, DUBOURPIEU." Extract of a letter from a British Officer in Pot.- 4.1ga1 (.‘ G-4;veral Silveira has upwards of 20,000 men under Ins command, almost entirely formed of the militia. of the northern and centrical provinces, which are famed for producing the best s :Itfiers in Portugal : his force is dit ides.] into de , achtnents of 5,000 men each, commanded by British Officers. Silveira occupies, Viseu, Celerico, ai:d Ponce de IVlaicella, 'and incereepts . the communtc,tion with Spain by the north of the E.:arena Mountains. Brls. gather General Miller is at Leira. 'Brigadier-Gene ral Wilson has pushcd on to Thotriar, his left coin'. •munc3ting with Abrantes, right with POlnbal Le;ra, and the positions occupied by Silveira ; while Bri gadier General Trani is sta!iuned at Coimbr'a, and observes the fords and passes of the Mnndeg , ): thus forming a complete cordon in the rear of ihe French. It is nor, therefore, well possible- to conceive an army in a more critical situation than that of Mas sena—in a confined and exhausted district—with an army, in his front too formidable to be attacked-- and with all the passes in the rear occupied by corps under the command of the most enierpri4m 4 officers. His retreat, there:ore, seems as imprac ticable as his being able to maintain and provide lA' his.army where lie now stanth. In addition to all this, the rainy season is now on the point of com:- mencing; when he will have, besides ihe military combinations made against hitn, to combat toe effects of weather, the most inclement and t..e•true live to;his troops; and when he will find it next to impossible, in this country, to make any military movement to extricate himself ; independ?nt of every bridge and pass in his line of retreat being iii our possession. Nor is this all; it .is said that 15,00 D Spaniards are advancing from Galicia.. In short, nothing can exceed the confide,nce that exists in the allied armies, both. in themselves and in the Commander in Chief; whose well laid plans of co operation are every day developing themselves, and more and more convincing us, that he has fairly caught his antagonist in a snare." It is, we believe,.not generally known, that the French General, Massena, has lost an eye, and less so the fad that it was shot out by Buonaparte hitn self.in a ckasse at FOuntainbleath, From 'the easy manner in whic,h the , Corsica.n Tyrant- expressed himself on the occasion, the.
